What are the phases of Codebaker's software development method?
Our software development method is structured in three main phases: Planning and Design (requirements analysis, prototyping with Figma and wireframes validated with the client), Development and Testing (parallel backend and frontend development with Docker containerisation and functional, performance and security testing) and Deployment and Ongoing Support (deployment to production via CI/CD pipeline and annual maintenance). This proven process, from brief to deployment, guarantees bespoke software delivered on time and within the agreed budget.
What does agile methodology mean in software development?
Agile methodology is an iterative and incremental approach to software project management: instead of developing the entire product in a single phase, you proceed through short cycles with frequent releases and periodic reviews with the client. This allows you to gather continuous feedback, adjust priorities along the way and reduce the risk of costly changes at an advanced stage of the project. At Codebaker we combine the agile approach with CI/CD methodologies to guarantee transparency, quality and flexibility throughout the entire development cycle.
What is a CI/CD pipeline and why is it important in software development?
CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment) is the set of practices and automations that integrate and release code in a continuous and reliable way. Every change is automatically tested and, once validated, deployed to production through an automated pipeline and a containerised architecture with Docker and Kubernetes. The result is faster releases, fewer manual errors and the ability to fix or improve software quickly, while always keeping the production environment stable.
How long does a custom software development project last?
The duration depends on the complexity of the project, the number of features and the integrations required. Thanks to our agile method and initial prototyping, we can define a roadmap with realistic timelines from the outset: the first test releases can be available within the first few weeks, while the complete development of a bespoke solution generally takes from a few weeks to several months. Together with the client, we define clear milestones and periodic reviews to keep the project under control in terms of timing and budget.
What happens after the software is released?
After deployment to production, our commitment continues with an annual maintenance and support service that includes performance monitoring, security updates, bug fixing, incremental optimisations and dedicated technical support. This approach allows us to evolve the software over time, adapting it to new business needs and ensuring it remains reliable, secure and high-performing even after the initial release.
